Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee is recovering after being shot in Las Vegas. On October 15, the 67-year-old was hit three times, once in the forearm, foot, and back. Lee has since issued an update on Sunday (20th), revealing he got shot after attempting to stop two men from stealing a neighbor’s motorcycle. The suspects opened fire after a brief verbal exchange.
Lee was treated in the ICU at Sunrise Hospital but has since returned home to recuperate. He shared that 15 shell casings were found at the scene. Lee was walking his dog during the incident and has confirmed, by photo, that his dog was unharmed. No arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
Lee chimed in on social media with the following:
“Thank you again for all your concern. A quick update: back home recuperating. A big thanks to those at Sunrise Hospital for taking such good care of me. And some brief details about that night. Walking home from our walk Coco and I crossed paths with a couple of thieves. Dressed darkly, hoodies pulled down their faces and masks covering their mouths. Standing in a neighbor’s driveway checking out his motorcycle. There was a verbal confrontation which ended with an agreement that I would walk one way and they would walk the opposite. That didn’t work out. I’ll probably talk in more detail about it later but right now I can only comfortably do a little at a time. Let me look for another cute pic of Coco!”
